Abstract:
- This collection consists of records of the Jewish community of Stuttgart, Germany until 1951, primarily post-war but including some material back to the 1920s. While most of the material relates to Stuttgart itself, some of the records relate to other communities (see below) in Württemberg. The collection includes a number of name lists, some of which are also held by the International Tracing Service (ITS), others not. In general, Nazi era lists such as deportation lists appear in the ITS collections, but most post-war material does not. The largest and most interesting list of names consists of applications in the immediate post-war period for financial aid from the Stuttgart Jewish community, often by persons in mixed (protected) marriages or persons who had earlier converted from Judaism. In many cases the applicants note what happened to them in earlier years.
